Favorite Sinnoh Pokémon

Definitely chimchar and it's evolutionary line. Pachirisu, torterra (its prevolutions are okay...) cherrim sun form, buizel (I actually like it's look better than floatzel.) gallade and weavile for sure, rhyperior, magnezone, uxie and azelf (mesprit is okay, but the 4 idk what word to use? Bulbs? Ears? The raindrop looking things. Ruin its look for me.) lucario and riolu, shieldon cause its adorable, phione (don't like manaphy tho.) regigigas. Who else was in gen 4?

Also slightly off topic maybe? Bidoof and bibarel, why nintendo? Why design a pokemon that someone looks at and immediately says "well your an HM slave for sure." Like seriously they just look sooooo BAD, like soo bad they look dumb. (This carries on to patrat and watchog in gen 5. But that really is off topic )

Before Generation 4, Sneasel was my favourite Pokémon, but unfortunately it wasn't very good.

Then they gave it an evolution, and I'm so glad they did. Weavile has a cool design that instantly clicked with me (and it gets even more interesting when you look deeper into it) and is actually usable in battle.

With this in mind, it's obvious that Weavile is my favourite Pokémon from Sinnoh and to this day it is still my favourite Pokémon overall. I still love Sneasel just as much, though.

Kind of a sad story, but I loved Manyula (Weavile) when it was first revealed in 2005, and its official artwork reveal a year later made me like it even more. However, I never used one when I played Diamond the first time because of how late in the game Nyula (Sneasel) is found.

Sinnoh Pokémon are just so awesome. Half of my top 10 favorite Pokémon are from Sinnoh, those being (from least to most preferred) Darkrai, Mesprit, Lopunny, Empoleon, and Dialga.

Glaceon! But I love most Ice-type pokemon anyway

Glacia (Glaceon) is a favorite of mine as well, although as far as Shinou's Ice-types go, I still prefer Yukinooh (Abomasnow) when it comes to theme and design. It's just a shame that the species has so many vulnerabilities.

I guess if I had to pick just one it would be Roserade. Apart from the design, I really like how Roselia went from being a single stage Pokémon to having a really good pre-evo and evolution.

Luxray has always been one of my favourites since it was released!

I love the electric type and it was part cat too?! Win win. xD

Runner up would be Spiritomb, I love that thing in battles.

I've really grown to like Roserade over the years. I too liked seeing Roselia go from being a standalone Pokemon to having a full evolution line. Budew's cute and I was glad that Roselia got an evolution with higher stats.

Roserade's design is really pretty to me, too (I often like flowery Pokemon).

Shinx, Luxio, Luxray
Budew, Roserade
Floatzel
Shieldon
Rampardos
Gible, Gabite, Garchomp
Riolu, Lucario
Leafeon
Glaceon

Dialga: Has two of my favorite types. Time manipulation is my favorite superpower, and it would be extremely useful to have in real life.
Empoleon: Penguins are my favorite animal. When I battled Cynthia for the first time, I won because of this guy; he knocked out four of her Pokémon.
Lopunny: Lopunny is one of the first Pokémon I've ever seen, and when I did, I was quickly swayed by its design. It gets Drain Punch (my second favorite move) and is Human-Like (my favorite Egg Group). Mega Lopunny is fun to use.
Mesprit: Mesprit became my second favorite Pokémon when I was randomly picking a Pokémon to be my second favorite, and it ended up who I chose. After learning more about it though, I saw some qualities that I liked. It's a premiere example of a Psychic-type. I like it and the other Lake Guardians. Mesprit is no longer my second favorite Pokémon, but it's still top 10.
Darkrai: It gets Drain Punch. It is the best example of a Dark-type, that emphasizes "Dark"-type instead of "Evil"-type. It looks cool in its movie (which I haven't seen yet).
Dusknoir: He has a cool Trick Room. He is the best, ghostiest example of a Ghost-type, while still looking unique.
Lucario: It got into Smash Bros. It can use Drain Punch, and a bunch of other moves. It is a Fighting-type, and Human-Like/Field like Lopunny.
Rampardos: It is the only pure Rock-type Fossil. It exhibits sheer power with a devastating high Attack, among the highest of all mons.

I believe Grotle, Bibarel, Luxray, Rampardos, Buizel, Skuntank, Garchomp, Lucario, Toxicroak, Weavile, Rhyperior, Electivire, Gliscor, Palkia, and Heatran would all make up my top fifteen favorite Sinnoh Pokemon. Oh, and Gliscor's my number one! :p

I didn't like Glion (Gliscor) much until I played Platinum version, which changed my opinion of the species. It was Glion's new sprite which made the difference since it looked cool to me.

Gen 4 was my least favorite mostly because a lot of the designs were lackluster to me and the story, music, and gameplay was really bland to me, but I definitely do like quite a few Pokemon from this region, my top 10 would be:

1) Weavile
2) Gallade
3) Honchkrow
4) Leafeon
5) Torterra
6) Lumineon
7) Rampardos
8) Lucario
9) Garchomp
10) Luxray

Honorable mentions: Drapion, Skuntank, Gliscor, Mothim, and Vespiquen.

Sinnoh was my first region so there’s bound to be a lot of Pokémon in its Pokédex that speak to me. There’s one that comes to mind in particular, but it’s not due to any kind of nostalgia, I actually didnt start liking it until later in life.

Porygon-Z. This Pokémon oozes with character in its animations and facial expression, and the concept is just funny. I love programming and graphics so its origin really sits with me too and I think they nailed a Pokémon based on the source material. As frustrating as programming errors can be, they can be very funny too.

Completely New: Infernape, Empoleon, Staraptor, Garchomp, Floatzel, Luxray, Lopunny and Lucario

Evolved from earlier pokemon: Gliscor, Ambipom, Weavile, Misdreavus, Honchkrow, Togekiss - all for making their previous evolutions worthwhile.

Also Gallade and Glaceon - their previous evolutions were already worthwhile, but these were welcome alternate evolutions.
